What if you were to die tomorrow?
What would you do today?
Who would you want to see?
Where would you want to be?
Who would you want to send a message to?
What would your regrets be?
What would you wish you had done more of?
What would you wish you had done less of?
An interesting way to find out what your real priorities are in life, isn’t it?
A bit macabre, I admit, but very effective!!
Sit down, go to a quiet place, and meditate upon these questions.
It will provide you with an absolute clarity on what is important to you, and I mean really important, “meaningful life” important.
It will immediately give you a huge feeling of calmness over the daily trivial things that you get so worked up about.
Looking at it from a more optimistic angle, you can ask yourself:
“What in 10 years time will I still remember of the things I got so frustrated about today?”
“Will they still matter?”
I think we can safely assume that at least 90% won’t be worth remembering. And 99% won’t be worth fretting about anymore.
So let it go, don’t give the little nuisances of life the energy you are giving it now.
Where energy flows, things grow: so give it no energy and there is nothing to be all worked up about.
Give all your energy to the good things in your life, to the things you like, to the people you love and your life will become a lot lighter and brighter!
Remember that every minute, every hour gone by, is a minute, an hour that never returns! Make the best of it! You can’t rewind time and do it better the second time around.
All you can do is:
Start right now, start this very minute
to live your best possible you!
Make yourself proud, be your hero, be your best self and you’ll never regret another minute in your life!!!
Do you need to be perfect? No way!!
Do you need to have all the answers right this minute? Not possible!
Aren’t you allowed to make any mistakes anymore? No, you are human, making mistakes is in our nature.
As long as you:
are your best,
do your best,
speak your best,
As long as you:
are humble,
are not judgemental,
and learn from past mistakes,
you’ll be okay.
Then you can live your life with your mind at ease, and when the time comes, you won’t regret a single thing.
I hope that moment won’t come any time soon and that you can start doing what you’ve always wanted to but never got around to it.
And remember, no one knows when his/her time is up, so don’t waste another minute.
